Universal motion rectangular separator for pulp and paper

Achieve precise motion adjustments with a versatile separator that enhances filtration efficiency, reducing contaminants in coated papers and maximizing throughput across various production lines.

The SWECO UM Universal Motion Rectangular Separator, including the UM-CIP model, offers industry-leading flexibility by allowing you to customize motion patterns—whether round, elliptical, or linear—through simple field adjustments. This versatility is essential for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to wastewater management, solving challenges in material separation. With the ability to handle slurries and powders, it is perfect for producing refined minerals, biodiesel, or coated paper, among other products.

Designed for continuous, high-speed operation, it maximizes throughput with its unique amplitude capability, achievable due to its four-panel design for increased screen surface. The equipment operates efficiently, minimizing energy use and reducing processing times. Materials prone to corrosion can be processed risk-free, thanks to its durable construction and available material options.

Integration into existing production lines is straightforward, supported by PLC-controlled systems that facilitate remote monitoring. The built-in Clean-In-Place (CIP) system simplifies maintenance, allowing for swift transitions between production cycles without contamination risks.

Backed by SWECO’s engineering support, the UM-CIP is customizable to meet specific processing needs, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your operational goals.
